The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Wild Man Blues is a 1997 American documentary film directed by Barbara Kopple, about the musical avocation of actor/director/comic Woody Allen. The film takes its name from a jazz composition by Jelly Roll Morton (with Louis Armstrong often credited as co-composer due to his influential arrangement), recorded by Morton, Armstrong, and many others. Wild Man Blues is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested) because the film includes several profanities. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
